afaik the reason unity was able to search through windows' settings was because they used standardized tile bars. Now that menus are handled in a more unique way application by application, it's much harder to automatically parse through and find all of the settings to display to the user and search through
How about Rofi and Dmenu ???
dmenu users rise up
dmenu is literally perfect, simple, no bs and extendable
Are they comparable to Krunner? Just asking.
Foes anyone know if rofi and tofi work on gnome and kde? I'm seeing wlroots dependency.
Pop Launcher is honestly my favorite one, that I started using Rofi to be able to imitate Pop Launcher's experience because the others doesn't allow me to have it.
like pop launcher too.
I've never heard of a keyboard launcher - must have been living under a rock lol. But I have used keyboard shortcut launchers since Windows in the early 90's and continue to do so now on Linux. There's just nothing faster than e.g. CTRL-ALT-C for Chrome or SUPER-E for my file Explorer (yeah, held over from the old Windows Explorer days). I even use CTRL-ALT-SPACE to open a terminal since that's so frequent (yes I know CTRL-ALT-T is usually default). For less commonly used apps that I haven't setup a shortcut I'm just happy with whatever the built-in menu is, it's quick enough for occasional use.
I've always got a browser open so web searches are usually just CTRL-N to open a new window and start typing. For simple arithmetic many keyboards have a media button that opens a calc app, or again I just ALT-D and type into the browser bar and usually google will spit out a result or unit conversion right there. I can't say I've ever felt any need for anything like a separate special launcher app, but I guess it's very helpful for those who don't know of keyboard shortcuts. And maybe it's easier to import existing settings onto a new install or a second PC.
Bloody microsoft stopped underlining menu toolbar shortcuts by default somewhere along the way, which probably contributed to even less people realising it was possible to use a PC mostly without a mouse. In fact that's what I miss most from the older Windows days - I used to be able to do literally ANYTHING in my daily workflow with a keyboard. Now after nearly a decade on cinnamon I still have to reach for the mouse to simply navigate through control panel options. And there's one damn Nemo thing that stops me using keyboard for everything in it. I'll never go back to Windows but for straight GUI keyboard usage it was, at one time, superior to anything else I've used.
You have an obsession with keyboard launchers.. I had an obsession with keyboards, keyboard layouts, etc.
Went out and got myself a Sun keyboard Type 7, however can't seem to find the drivers for the left cluster to work - regardless of the OS I'm using.
Now I'm currently using the Sun keyboard at work because others need to use my system from time to time and a Bastron Glass Keyboard at home. Love the glass keyboard. However touch typing on it is a bit of a pain.
Nice video as always! Could you please share the wallpaper you are using. It's awesome! Thanks! 🙏
I loved Launchy during my windows days, Productivity gain was amazing. On linux, I never needed one, because of amazing gnome shell and its extensions. I did install uLauncher but I don't think I ever needed to use it .
thank you Sir
Good video.
Nice 👍
I'm using krunner, I even added my own search shortcuts 🙂
krunner is the best imo...
Hi, what do you use to switch between Kubuntu and Zorin OS like that?
How did you make the wifi, microphone and zorin launcher icons black? Sorry if I made a mistake in English grammar, I'm just a Brazilian student who studies the English language
Albert and Ulauncher are my favorite Linux ones but I only use Albert because Alt +Space works on it. On Windows I use Keypirinha which blows the rest away, super fast and feature rich and not as buggy as Linux ones.
Have you tried Powertoys run on Windows?
@@CouldBeMathijs Yes, I have it installed but Powertoys Run isn't as good as Keypirinha
@@mo9488 I'll have to try it then.
You can set Alt+Space in Ulauncher. You just have to change or unset whatever Alt+Space s currently set to in your Desktop Environment's keyboard settings (ex "Activate the window menu" in Gnome)
I also really appreciate if the author make a video about UnsetupIt, an app that can isolate or remove softs from a . TNice tutorials app is really
im a huge fan of rofi, it aint as "plugin / extension" as what you named, but i can script it however i see fit=)
It's nice. More barebones and appeals to a different crowd, but that's all by design and not a negative thing. Definitely deserves a shout out. It's one of the big ones.
The best launcher I've seen is Krunner, second would be Gnome search. Ulauncher looks nice but does not have a file search. I also like arc menu with the launcher setting enabled.
👍
@6:50 Albert is not C# and QT. Right on your screen it says C++ and QT. 😃
Too right. Misspoke there. 🥴
Dark theme for Firefox in a light theme Zorin ..
Cortana is my favorite. If only it was available for linux cinnamon.
you use freecad to?
Just a note: Albert is based on _C++_/Qt
i love synapse
Why? It's a very dead project. Is there anything Synapse can do that these or other launchers can't?
Foes anyone know if rofi and tofi work on gnome and kde? I'm seeing wlroots dependency.
👍
on windows, flowlauncher is the best
I see ZorinOS, I press like.
gnome shell can unit conversion but you need to say "to" instead of "in", for example 4kg to lbs and it shows that it's 8,818490487 lbs
Power toys is open-source
Hello rofi not here ? This is weird.
Rofi all the way!
I think not many can do what a full blown krunner can do.
krunner can't search videos directly on youtube like ulauncher or albert can right from the desktop
@@AndRei-yc3ti ?? Sure it can.
@@johnmaletic898 how? I can only have it open the yt query in firefox but not give me options from desktop
Rofi?
I literally can’t concentrate on what you are saying you’ve got stunning look jesus
Dmenu
Buongiorno Linux
Listary is the best for windows, just saying...
Those are something my 60 years old dad would use, where are rofi and dmenu
I've watched this thing and still have no idea what a key launcher is. ?
We need an explanation. Why no rofi?
